Ely's skyline is dominated by the cathedral, but beneath it are streets full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces where ageing chimney stacks are a persistent source of roof leaks and heat loss.
The residential streets off Broad Street and around the Lynn Road area are packed with red-brick terraces, many of which were built with two or three chimney stacks serving separate rooms. Central heating made most of them redundant long ago, but the stacks remain — collecting moss, losing pointing, and letting water track down through the roof on every rainy winter night. Chimney take-downs in Ely typically cost between £800 and £1,400 depending on stack height and roof access, with scaffold always included.
We make good the roof covering after removal using materials that match the existing tile profile as closely as possible, which matters on the older properties where plain clay tiles are still in place. We cover Ely regularly from our Mildenhall base. Call us for a free chimney survey.
